This special June 1 Weekend Edition reflects on the most valuable gift we can offer the next generation: our time.
While the day is filled with parks and fairs across Romania, we dive into the complex reality of “Generation Z” and the impact of excessive screen use on childhood development. Today’sprogram explores the root causes of digital dependency and features insights from experts like Alina Soare and Simona Vergu on how to replace passive consumption with meaningful engagement.
We discuss the importance of supporting parents through the evolving challenges of modern upbringing and highlight how specialized activities—from summer camps to technology workshops—can help children build essential skills for a future where tech is here to stay. It is a call to move beyond the phone and tablet to rediscover the sweet moments of gratification that come from being truly present in our children’s lives.
